Selections that stay with the type mark.
The photograph stays next to the catalog number. The client approves the selection they already walked. The type mark does not get replaced at submittal.
Designers
The selection the client approved is the catalog number that gets ordered.
Selections, list price, and the cut sheets sit on one project. List price is not a quote. A cheaper swap is a proposed substitution unless the owner asked for a cost review.
How this pays for you
List price until there is a quote.
List price is the number the line prints. It is not a quote. The distributor quotes the specified catalog numbers when the specification is ready.
Bath, lighting, and the piece over the table as one specification.
Vanity, mirror, and bath light write the same project. The walk-through looks like the selection the client approved.
